Hi all.
Need some help with a Griffith 500 (2002)
Car cranks but wont start!!
Battery is good, there's fuel present but i've noticed the spark looks weak.
Do these cars have a problem with the coil?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, when the ignition is turned on you can hear it.

Look up past threads on the rotor arm. If it is not a Lucas part, it will fail. It sure concked out on me.
